Strawberry Oat Crumble Bars

It may be the day after Labor Day, the official end of summer, but it feels like summer in Arizona until the end of October! We are still in summer mode which means bring on the summer desserts, using fresh berries.

The Strawberry Crumble Bars have it all — a sweet strawberry filling paired with a made-from-scratch buttery oat crumble. These may resemble a Nutri-Grain bar but 1,000,000 times better. I am not exaggerating.

These Strawberry Oatmeal Bars can even be eaten for breakfast. Fresh Strawberries — check. Old-Fashioned Oats — check. Strawberry Jam — check. It is sounding like breakfast to me! I love to take a spoon and dig in while they are still warm and ooey gooey. Now, if you want to cut them into bars, patience is key, as the bars need time to set-up.

The oat crumble is made with simple ingredients — old-fashioned rolled oats, brown sugar, flour, baking powder, and cold butter. The strawberry filling is made with fresh strawberries, strawberry jam, lemon zest, and a touch of flour to thicken it.

How to make Strawberry Oatmeal Bars:

1. Start by making the Oat Crumble. A food processor works best for pulsing the oats. This is my favorite food processor since it is pretty reasonably priced and works well. You can also pick up a mini food processor for about half the price. Pulse the ingredients together until crumble forms. Press 1/2 into pan and bake for 8-10 minutes.

2. To make the filling, start with fresh strawberries. Cut into small pieces and sprinkle with sugar. A touch of flour helps to thicken the filling when baked. I always warm the jam by placing it in the microwave and then drizzle all over the berries. Top with the remaining crumble and bake until berries are bubbly and bursting.

3. To cut into bars, let cool. If you want to eat the bars warm straight out of the oven, dig in with a spoon.
